Merry Christmas

Hi there my crafty friends!  I embossed a piece of white card with the Falling Snow embossing folder.  Next, I cut the Holly Ribbon Wave Border with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I glued the black die cut on top of the white embossed copy, then I cut the die again in green and used the fall away pieces and paper pieced them back into the design.  I did it again in red and used those fall away pieces and paper pieced them back into the design.  I glued the border across the card.  Using the Stylish Poinsettia, I made a red glittered poinsettia and added it to the left just above the border with two green leaves and accents.  I cut the Noble Merry Christmas sentiment in red and glued it to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7"  in size.

May Your Days Be Merry & Bright

 Hi bloggers!  I selected a piece of black gloss card to use for the background.  I cut a thin white frame using the Double Stitched Squares.  I added mounting foam to the back then added a white backing piece to the frame and attached it to the top of the background.  Using the Build A Wreath die set, I cut the wreath die three times out of silver sparkle card.    I layered up the three die cuts for a fuller wreath.  I cut the berries out of black gloss card and glued them to the wreath.  I added a black gloss bow and several twigs as accents.  I cut the May Your Day Be Merry & Bright out of both silver sparkle card and black card.  I shadowed the sentiment with the black die cut then added it to a white shadow backing piece.  I added it below the wreath with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mat and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8"  in size.

Enjoy Your Retirement

Hello blogger!  I started today's card by sponging Distress Oxide inks across the card using a smoothie.  I used a combination of Tumbled Glass, Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks.  Using the Birch Tree Forest die, I cut it out of slate grey card and extended it and cut it again making it a larger piece.  I used the Stitched Hills & Clouds and cut it in white to create a snowy hill.  I glued it across the bottom of the card.  I cut the Primrose Cottage out of Periwinkle Blue card and the door and roof were cut out of slate grey and added to the cottage.  I added the cottage to the scene with mounting foam.  I cut two small deer from the Winter Wonderland die set and glued them next to the cottage.  I cut the Happy Retirement sentiment out of wordie sheets and added it with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6"  x  6 3/4" in size.

Get Well Soon

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting the Floral Dream Cover Plate with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the white copy to colour the image with alcohol markers.  I glued the black die cut on top.  I cut a larger piece of white card and added the die cut to the top of it.  I cut the Get Well Stacked Shadowed sentiment in both raspberry and black card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the raspberry die cut.  I added it to white shadow backing pieces and attached them to the top of the Cover plate.  I added glue to the flower centres then coated them with Black Onyx glitter. The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 1/2"  x  7" in size.

Paws & Kisses

Good Sunday morning all!  I selected some striped card from my craft stash and cut it on the diagonal.  I glued it to a piece of white card, then ran a thin piece of black card across the join area.  I cut Pet Pal Max out of tan card and glued him along the join line..  I used a black felt tipped marker to colour in the top of his fur and his face.  I added a red and white dotty neckerchief and a white envelope with a red glittered heart on it.  I cut a red flower with green leaves and added it to his tail. I added a handful of red glittered stars around the top of the card as accents.  I cut the Have A Pawsome Day sentiment out of both red and black.  I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the red one, then glued it to a white shadow backing piece and attached it in the lower part of the card.  The card was completed with white, red an black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.

May Your Days Be Merry & Bright

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started this card by cutting a frame using the Double Stitched Squares.  I cut a thin white frame and attached a piece of white card to it with mounting foam.  I added the frame to the middle of a piece of white card.  Using the Yuletide Welcome die set, I cut a red door and added a green wreath with a red bow to it.  I cut two topiary trees and added them to black gloss pots.  I used the pine spray to add a scalloped spray across the top of the frame.  I added red poinsettias to each of the join areas.  I cut the sled in red and propped it up against the frame.  I cut the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright sentiment out of both red and black card.  I shadowed the red die cut with the black one and then glued it to a white shadow backing piece.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/2"  in size.
